Day 2 of the World IBJJF No-Gi Championship, this Saturday, was one of intense action. The kickoff to the adult black belt divisions rocked the audience in Anaheim, and well-known names were victorious alongside new and hungry athletes — all headed for the finals this Sunday, Dec. 16.

In the men’s absolute division, the always entertaining Gordon Ryan stood out. Having secured a spot in the ultra-heavyweight semifinals earlier, the American representing Renzo Gracie Academy went into the absolute and defeated Patrick Gáudio and Jackson Sousa. He will be fighting for gold against Yuri Simões of CTA, who beat Thiago Sá in their semifinal match. Before the absolute final takes place, Gordon and Yuri will face off with the ultra-heavyweight title on the line.

In the women’s absolute, Bia Mesquita and Jéssica Flowers will each try to be the only female double gold winner. Bia earned her spot in two finals and will be facing Ana Carolina Vieira for the middleweight crown. Jéssica, before doing the absolute final, will have Nivia Moura as her opponent in the super-heavyweight final.

Read on to find out Sunday’s finalists.
